2. How big can you carry? I am thinking concealed that maybe a 12" blade is doable but not easy... A wakasashi type 24" blade just is too big for city concealed since I'm not into the trench coat thing so much.. how big is big enough to be above "knife" power but small enough to walk around with concealed? Is a Cold Steel trailmaster good enough to be in between sword and knife? I appreciate the custom designs but tend to favor the consistency and availability of commercial products. That said I think cold steel selection leaves much to be desired but seem to have the production process down and their heads out of their butt and on the edge for the most part. A bit too much into their edge forward thinking and barong only ways but that is just the ginunting in me talking.
3. At this point I am very sad to say I could deploy and shoot an attacker with a .38 MUCH quicker than I could deploy and stab an attacker with a knife/sword so please give some advice if you can. I do value my hearing. I just don't think most people can handle me walking around with the butt(or punyo if you prefer) of my kobun sticking out of my jeans here in the big city. I can have a HUGE belly pack or a BIG lump in my pocket but God forbid I have a BIG knife handle sticking out. Just not politically correct in Texas.(only Bowie could do it, which is now expressly legally forbidden by law and by BOWIE name).
